Alice nodded sagely, "Yes, I’ve seen her play. She’s pretty good. Think you can take her?"
Dana smiled at Alice, thoroughly charmed. Here was a person that knew nothing about her. She didn’t even know about the scholarship or the tournaments. Not that Dana was vain. She was just refreshed by Alice’s candor and the chance to be friends with someone who wouldn’t want to talk about her tennis career.
"I think I probably can."
Alice inclined her head to Dana, impressed with her apparent confidence. "Cocky, huh?"
Dana grinned back, saying, "Maybe a little. I’ve won a few tournaments. Nothing a baby rockstar would have heard of."
Alice laughed at Dana’s phrase and said, "Not just baby rockstars, but people with no athletic ability whatsoever. I’ve never been very good at sports. I knocked myself out playing tennis once in grade school."
Dana looked on incredulously. Alice, who moved around the stage like an Olympian, wasn’t good at sports?
"How did you manage that, Alice?"
The musician shrugged and said, "Dunno. I think I was trying to serve. My memory’s kind of hazy. I gave myself a concussion."
Dana couldn’t help laughing then and Alice was so happy to see it that she joined in as well.

Dana woke to a light, persistent drizzle tapping ceaselessly against her skin. Opening one eye, she shivered as she realized that she’d fallen asleep on the chaise outside. Her hair was damp and her clothes were clinging to her unpleasantly.
She remembered staying up with Alice, drinking, talking, and finally resting her eyes.
Opening her other eye, she saw the other chaise lounge with Alice sleeping peacefully on it. She too was relatively drenched but snoring obliviously. An adorable cowlick had sprung up on the side of her head and Dana couldn’t help but smile. It was still dark out and though it appeared that most of the revelers had gone home, a few were talking quietly on the couch.
Dana hurried off the chaise and to Alice’s side, where after a few gentle prods followed by more insistent pushes, she’d managed to coax Alice awake and the two wended their way to Alice’s room to change.
Alice said groggily, "I’ll get you a towel and some pajamas. You can stay here, okay?"

This is a great story. Please continue with it. The chemistry between those two is just so natural. I love it. Post soon.
Another chapter so soon?!? Squee!! Loved this line “so she did what all Faribanks did; she ignored it” — that is Dana in a nutshell. Great job incorporating Helena into the story. I love the sweetness between Alice and Dana at this stage. I’m looking forward to you next post!! Oh — and please — let’s keep Dana alive. OK? ;-D
Just found your story and am thrilled – it really great and I love where you are taking it … yeah, more danish, hurray.
Am I glad to read your 2nd chapter within 12 hours? What a wonderful surprise. Indeed another sweet chapter. I can’t wait to see Dana coming out of the closet. Now that you shared with us your writing credential, I am sure the rest of the story will be great. Those two are meant to be together. I am looking forward to your next post. Thank you for writing Danish. There is just not enough around these days. Thank you again.
